Marcus's post match comments were very damning - DC obvs too pi$$ed off to face the cameras. Is it me or does his hairline make him look sinister? See what I mean? Evil man.. just evil. Attachment Deleted

He played Lawrence last night and he clearly was not fit from the 1st minute when he could not turn and chase a ball... Looks to me that Lawrence is the new Matt Gill.

I think you are being disrespectful by calling them little kids, they were far from it. In the main they were physically well developed & had an edge about them, this probably comes from being a decent well drilled side. Just my opinion, but too many are getting on their high horse over our involvement in this tournament. I went and I have already explained my reasons for going in another thread, I am also going to pay to go to swindle again as is my right as an individual. Do not try to foist your opinions on me and other FANS who have differing opinions to yourselves, if the cap fits wear it. UTG the whole competition is disrespectful, they are kids ( under 23 implies that notion ) Why did you use caps lock when you typed FANS ( slightly confused) I'm also not on my high horse about anything I'm merely discussing a subject on a forum and I couldn't be more chilled out if I tried. Can I complement you though on your use of the word "foist" I would of used impose. My use of "if the cap fits wear it" was an indication I was not attacking an individual poster. Also to say under 23 are kids is not true, as an adult of 18, you can die for your country. now let's try as a group of FANS to put this debacle behind us, I am more irritated by the swindle chairmanship platitudes and fan saying if we hadn't caused trouble there would no need for extra policing c*ckwombles the lot of them

On paper at least todays signings are spot on in my opinion. More pace at the back and better quality in midfield. Feeling much more optimistic now.

Wow only a week ago we were applauding the squad and how great they looked against Chelsea. Seems a few have short memories. We lost to Chesham last year but that didn't require us to go out and buy 4 new players. We don't need a centre back, Lockyer and Hartley look solid and Clarke has had a good start to the season. McChrystal is a decent 4th choice. Byron Moore has still to come into the picture and we all know the quality Bodin possesses - he's just not hit former yet. Montano likewise will grow into the season as he did last imo. Harrison, Easter and Taylor all look in fantastic nick. Gaffney less so and James not done much yet but 3 out of 5 is as good as we've ever had under DC. Midfield Lines is a revelation and like a new signing. Clarke and Sincs are doing ok and we can't judge Lawrence until/if he's fit and likewise Mansell. We do need a new signing here though I agree. Let's look at the bigger picture here, we've played 7 and a half matches, done as expected in the league, overperformed in the league cup and under achieved in one game in the joke cup. Let's get real guys, a bit of perspective is needed. DC will sort any problems we have. I'm not basing my opinion on last night. I've been to every game this season. Personally I don't think either Clarke or McChrystal are good enough to play as CB in a back 4. McChrystal was a liability last night. We've no idea how long Moore will be out or how good he is. Vale fans didn't rate him. There is no guarantee Bodin & Montano will come good. With the exception of one decent game for Monty they've both been very poor. We will surrender possession and put ourselves under pressure unless we sign more midfielders who are comfortable on the ball. If Taylor got injured we'd struggle for goals up front in my opinion. I can't see any of our other strikers getting 10+ personally. Some of these problems may not materialise. Hopefully Lockyer and Hartley can stay fit and J.Clarke can play in a back 3. If Taylor stays fit I think we'll be okay for goals if he's partnered by Harrison or Easter. So I guess the most important improvements have to be in midfield and hopefully we'll see that addressed with a signing or 2 today. Some interesting views. A few questions for you. Do you not rate these 2 ? Do you think they haven't got ability to do well at L1 ? We have only played 4 games by the way ! Do you think our midfield were poor v Oxford and Bolton ? If so why ?

I do actually think they have the ability to do well in L1 but they've started the season poorly. I think they can cut it at this level but at the moment I'm not sure they believe that. They seem to be very low on confidence. I didn't want to be in a postion where we were banking on them coming good. Thankfully the new signings give us the other options I was hoping for.
If my memory serves I think Oxford was the game where both Lines and Monty played very well. Ollie Clarke did okay and Bodin was subbed after a below average display. We held our own that day but I think we'll come up against better midfields than Oxford.
Really pleased with the positions we've strengthened yesterday. Exactly what we needed in my opinion.

Didn't Bolton's CM run rings ours in the first half? It was only when Easter came on we finally got on top but never really looked like drawing level, not sure what the issue is with Montano as he seems to be perfroming at last season's level, which was always a bit inconsistent, likewise BB shows flashes of last season's form.

I think Bodin and Gaffney may be carrying a slight injury and Montano is,well Montano but as for Lawrence he was never the most mobile of players when he was younger but he is quite a unit nowadays and will never be more mobile than as you see him now. I thought Bodin would be THE player this season so a touch disappointed to be honest but there is obviously a reason why he isn't starting regularly hence the thought of not being fully fit.
